During this event hosted by the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, explore the edges of Big Basin’s burn zone with State Park Interpreter Richard Fletcher, learn about the massive efforts underwent to restore Rancho Del Oso and its Nature Center, and contribute to the CZU Lightning Complex and Community Science Project by uploading your observations to iNaturalist.
